Inspiration for a Potting Shed


I hope to use these photos of my aunt's "potting shed" and garden as inspiration for a future miniature project (add it to my growing list of ideas - ha!).

My aunt, an artist, designed the shed and gardens located in her backyard in suburban Detroit. Behind the structure is a walking path. Unfortunately, I didn't take photos of the inside of the shed. It is decorated so beautifully. The back room is the potting area. The room in front contains a few pieces of lovely furniture with whimsical antiques sprinkled throughout.

I could imagine myself spending hours upon hours in this little retreat working on my miniatures. But that's one of the reasons I like to create miniatures; so that I can have a replica of what I can't have in real life!

  1. That is really cute. It would make a wonderful miniature building.

  2. The little 'potting shed' is so sweet and the garden is stunning. I think it would be a great mini project. I am considering something similar, in the design of a two-room fishing shack my Dad built many years ago, no longer standing unfortunately. Hope to see yours as it progresses.
